Indian Palms Golf & Country Club - Mountain/Royal
Rating Snapshot
About
This course dates back to the 1940s and carries a powerful history. Dwight Eisenhower and John Kennedy played many a round at Indian Palms, back when it was called Cochran Ranch. Eisenhower loved the place so much, he wrote his memoirs at the ranch.
You might become enraptured with Indian Palms' past. But the course itself has very much moved into the 21st century.
Eighteen of its 27 holes went through a massive renovation a few years ago. Some of the most dramatic changes are on the greens, once generally flat and small and tilting from back to front to allow the greens to hold shots almost to a fault. Many greens on the course today have been expanded to as much as 6,000 square feet.
The Royal nine features water on eight of its holes. (Yes, your break from water is one hole total).
The Mountain nine is probably the toughest of the three, with plenty of hills out on the course and plenty of slope on the greens. The Mountain nine also boasts a rare par-4 island green.

Golf outing
For the price, you would think the links would be better than what they were.
Meh
Fairways were hard without much grass. Every shot is a tight lie unless you move your ball to some grass. Tee boxes were not well marked on Indian. Houses are tight in several areas. Overall quite disappointing, unfortunately.
Flag placement for Red, White, & Blue flags
The standard flag color placement is RED is at the front of the green, WHITE is at the center of the green, and BLUE is at the back of the green.
I found it very frustration that I could not rely on the standard flag color placement because the colors were all over, e.g., a Red flag that I thought was at the front of the green was actually at the back of the green. This should be corrected.
Good value and pace of play. Course is in okay condition but needs some work. Nice mid level

Course condition
The course condition was terrible and the pace of play eas very slow.
Fun Course
We really enjoyed the course, the pass was great, never waited for the group in front of us. The fairways aren’t the greatest but for the price it was good
Kind of a dump. Okay at the right price.
Kind of a dump. Course in below average condition. Pace of play slow. If it’s cheap it’s okay - there are better courses for the money.
